let them have their cake
enough about men for now...well directly anyway. tonight we explore the rather odd logic of...
"you always want what you can't have"
ok so most of you can refute the fact that this is not always true. but it IS true most of the time. take the shining example of say...let's say my current haircut. for those loyal readers out there who don't actually know us vikers, i am the one with short-ish hair...of which i like to THINK looks a bit alternative and funky. most of the time it turns out like i have just gotten out of bed.
now, while i am fairly happy with this hair, i am on numerous occasions pining away for the long long hair that i used to have. i will agree with most of you who are thinking that i can just as easily grow it out again. but i don't want that, i want to magically wake up sometimes and have my long hair again. so we apply this theory to life, shall we?
every person has something that they want, but in their minds know it's impossible. that perfect figure, the man of their dreams, the high paying job, a better fitting bra. sometimes it's so easy to become consumed with the end product, that people forget the process they have to go through to achieve that end product. and should the average person achieve what they want, they will always want more.
so boys and girls, tonight's moral is maybe we should forget about what we can't have, and concentrate on what we do have. for no matter how rich you become, however hot your boyfriend is, however hot you are, you will always want more. that's the funny little mystery that is life.
passing the microphone on to the dear readers who will refute my opinion as they please.
p.s. damn, i just realised i should have used my boobs as my analogy rather than my haircut.

Don't settle for second best!
it's the process of getting what you want that is most exciting.
the week leading up go getting my car was "omg i'm getting a car. oh my i'm withdrawing all this money. i've got $[insert thousands dollar amount here].00 in my hand. i'm signing the papers. wow wow."
and when you finally get the car, well everyone knows what a car feels like...
(o_O)
*sneers* this car better be worth it...
Poking holes in points:
Of course you want what you can't have. You wouldn't want it if you already had it, because you wouldn't be wanting it anymore, you'd be having it.
But then you say "Ohhh I want my teddy bear." Thats because you don't have it, even though its yours. You wouldn't say you want your teddy bear if it was already in your possesion.
Clear as mud.
